The Peace Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine of 27 November 1919

Abstract

The Peace Treaty of Neuilly-sur-Seine represented the official
ceasefire between the Main Allied and Associated forces and the
Kingdom of Bulgaria. It concerned the states of Greece and Bulgaria,
their relationship towards the Macedonian national minority and their
pretensions towards the territories which remained within the borders of
the Ottoman Empire with the provisions of the Berlin agreement of
1878. The paper also gives an estimation of the influence of the
exchange of the populations in the process of the national
homogenization of the state interests of the Kingdom of Greece and
Bulgarian Empire, during the first decades of XXth century. This is an
especially important moment in the history of Macedonian nation, as the
effects of the exchange of minorities between these two Balkan states
contributed to the denial of the right of the Macedonian national
individuality and the right of the Macedonian independent national
development.
